The glucose monitor measures blood glucose levels and the pump delivers insulin in response to current readings. Additionally, predictive algorithms estimate future blood glucose levels, ensuring more regular glycemic control.

For patients, this creates a much more hands-off experience, where manual involvement is typically only needed before a carb or sugar heavy meal.

The 780G earned a CE mark in 2020 and the company is seeking US Food and Drug Administration approval for the pairing of the 780G pump and its Guardian 4 continuous glucose monitor.
